The Auditory Ossicles01:11

The Auditory Ossicles

3.1K
The auditory ossicles of the middle ear transmit sounds from the air as vibrations to the fluid-filled cochlea. The auditory ossicles consist of two malleus (hammer) bones, two incus (anvil) bones, and two stapes (stirrups), one on each side. These bones develop during the fetal stage and are the ones to ossify first. They are fully mature at birth and do not grow afterward.
The aptly named stapes look very much like a stirrup. The three ossicles are unique to mammals, and each plays a role in...

Auditory Pathway01:15

Auditory Pathway

7.3K
Auditory pathways constitute the complex neural circuits responsible for transmitting and interpreting auditory information from the peripheral auditory system to the brain. Sound waves are initially captured by the outer ear, funneled through the ear canal, and reach the tympanic membrane (eardrum). These vibrations are transmitted via the middle ear's ossicles to the inner ear's cochlea.
When viewed cross-sectionally, the cochlea reveals the scala vestibuli and scala tympani flanking...

Auditory Perception01:17

Auditory Perception

1.1K
The auditory system is essential for sound perception, utilizing various critical structures. When sound waves enter the outer ear, they travel through the ear canal and cause the eardrum to vibrate. These vibrations are then transmitted to the middle ear, where three tiny bones – the malleus, incus, and stapes – amplify the sound. This amplification is crucial, as it ensures that the sound vibrations are strong enough to be conveyed to the inner ear. These vibrations then reach the...

Non-ohmic Devices00:51

Non-ohmic Devices

1.5K
In most substances, the current flow is proportional to the voltage applied to it. A simple relationship between the values of current, voltage, and resistance is known as Ohm's law. Nonohmic devices do not exhibit a linear relationship between voltage and current. One such device is the semiconducting circuit element known as a diode. A diode is a circuit device that allows current flow in only one direction.
Consider a simple circuit consisting of a battery, a diode, and a resistor. A...

Mnemonic Devices01:23

Mnemonic Devices

428
Mnemonic devices are cognitive tools that facilitate memory retention by linking new information to familiar patterns or organizational strategies. These techniques are beneficial for remembering complex or lengthy sets of information by simplifying and structuring them in easily retrievable ways.
Acronyms
Acronyms are created by using the initial letters of a series of words to form a new word or phrase. This approach condenses complex information into a single, memorable entity. For example,...

Design Example: Identifying the Locations of Monuments in the Field Using Global Positioning System Device

409
Surveyors use Global Positioning System (GPS) technology to measure the precise location and elevation of points on Earth. In a recent survey, GPS receivers were used to determine the coordinates and elevations of two park monuments. The process involved careful mission planning, data collection, and correction to ensure accuracy. The survey began with mission planning to identify optimal satellite visibility and minimize Position Dilution of Precision (PDOP). A geodetic control point...

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Neurosurgery

Background:

  • Bone conduction devices offer an alternative for hearing loss treatment.
  • The Bonebridge system is an active transcutaneous bone conduction implant.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the Bonebridge system's characteristics, surgical considerations, and clinical outcomes.
  • To highlight the advantages and disadvantages of the Bonebridge device.
  • To compare Bonebridge outcomes with other bone conduction hearing solutions.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature on Bonebridge implantation and outcomes.
  • Analysis of surgical planning requirements for the bone conduction-floating mass transducer (BC-FMT).
  • Evaluation of audiological results and complication rates.

Main Results:

  • Bonebridge implantation can be performed under local anesthesia.
  • Early device activation is possible due to lack of osseointegration requirement.
  • Significant MRI artifacts are produced by the internal magnet.
  • Complication rates are low, and hearing outcomes are comparable to other bone conduction devices.

Conclusions:

  • Bonebridge provides effective hearing rehabilitation with manageable surgical considerations.
  • The primary limitation is the MRI artifact, necessitating pre-operative planning.
